Tea and coffee, as well as soft drinks and juices, are ready to greet you when you return from a shore landing and at meal times, while alcoholic beverages are also available, but for an additional price.\n\nBreakfasts and lunches tend to be buffet-style, while dinners are typically served tableside and usually feature three courses. The range of food is diverse, with professional chefs preparing a wide selection of gourmet dishes, and a vegetarian option is always included. Afternoon tea, with pastries or cookies, is also provided every day.\n\nIf you have any dietary requirements or food allergies, please let us know before the trip starts. If you have a more restrictive dietary requirement (vegan, gluten intolerance, fructose intolerance, etc) it is likely you can be catered for. Unfortunately, we are unable to cater for a kosher diet.\n\nGeography and environment\n\n#### Geography and environment\nEncompassed by the Antarctic convergence (an uneven line of latitude where the cold waters of the Antarctic merge with the warmer waters of the world's oceans), Antarctica is both cold and remote, located in the Southern Hemisphere. Due to its south-polar position, the Antarctic continent is covered in ice and experiences very harsh conditions unsuitable for permanent human residency.\n\nWhile plenty of animals live in Antarctica (such as various species of whale, penguin, seal and bird), there are very few humans that call Antarctica home, instead using the region as a base for research. There are no cities in Antarctica but there are several research stations positioned on the continent belonging to various countries like Russia, the United States and Australia.\n\nHistory and government\n\n#### History and government\nAntarctica was formed around 35 million years ago and remained undiscovered until around 1820, when Russian explorers spotted the mainland. However, this may have only been the first documented discovery of Antarctica, as it's believed that Pacific Islanders may have reached the white continent in 650 AD.\n\nThere were many attempts to set foot at the South Pole in the early 20th century, so much so that it was dubbed the 'Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration', with many trying and failing until a Norwegian explorer by the name of Roald Amundsen reached in 1911. Exploration didn't stop there, though, with a total of 17 major expeditions launched in the following years from 10 different countries, the last one being Ernest Shackleton's last ill-fated voyage in 1917.\n\nAntarctica isn't owned by one single country, instead governed internationally through the Antarctic Treaty system signed in 1959 by 12 countries who had sent scientists to Antarctica during and around that time. These countries included Argentina, Australia, France, Japan, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom.\n\n## Antarctica travel FAQs\nWhen is the best time to visit Antarctica?\n\nAntarctica is best visited November to March when the weather is warmer and the sea ice has melted enough to get closer to the island shore.\n\n[Learn more about the best time to visit Antarctica](https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/us\/antarctica\/best-time-visit-antarctica)\n\nHow do I choose an Antarctic cruise?\n\nDeciding on the Antarctica cruise that suits you best comes down to figuring out the time of year you want to go, the itinerary, and how long you want the cruise to be.\n\n[Learn more about how to choose an Antarctic cruise](https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/us\/antarctica\/how-to-choose-an-antarctic-cruise)\n\nWhat is the weather like in Antarctica?\n\nThe climate in Antarctica is the coldest on Earth, with cold summers and freezing winters. The warmest month is January with averages of around 50°F.\n\n[Learn more about the weather in Antarctica](https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/us\/antarctica\/weather-antarctica)\n\nWhat are the possible landing sites in Antarctica?\n\nEach expedition includes stops at various landing sites around the Antarctic, but when you stop at them and for how long often depends on the weather, sea ice and wildlife movement.\n\n[Learn more about landing sites in Antarctica](https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/us\/antarctica-landing-sites)\n\nWhat is it like traveling solo on a cruise to Antarctica?\n\nWhile you can't embark on an expedition to the world's seventh continent alone, you can travel solo on a group trip to Antarctica.\n\nThis means you'll still have plenty of free time to do your own thing (and use the ship's excellent amenities) but also have the comfort of knowing expert leaders are handling the pesky logistics.\n\nYou can also choose from a variety of accommodation arrangements, from single cabins to room-sharing, depending on your preference.\n\nWhat do I wear in Antarctica?\n\nYou have to be prepared and thorough when packing for Antarctica due to its remote location. Make sure you bring lots of layers, gloves, sunscreen, and moisturiser among other items.\n\n[Learn more about what to wear in Antarctica](https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/us\/antarctica\/what-to-wear-in-antarctica)\n\nIs there internet, wi-fi, email or telephone access available on the ships?\n\nInternet access is available on most Antarctica ships at a cost. Alternatively, there may be a ship-based email system where you will have an email account to stay in touch with family and friends. Because of the remoteness of Antarctica, connections can be slow, so all ships charge for data used rather than time spent online. Please refer to your detailed pre-departure information for more information on Internet facilities on your ship.\n\n**Can my family and friends contact me while I’m on board an Antarctica cruise in the case of an emergency at home?**\n\nYes. There is a number to call the ship and you can purchase data for the wi-fi onboard, although the connection is intermittent and not to be relied on.\n\nDoes my trip to Antarctica support The Intrepid Foundation?\n\nYes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. Trips to this country directly support our global Intrepid Foundation partner, Eden Reforestation Projects. Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.\n\n**Eden Reforestation Projects**\n\nEden Reforestation Projects are helping to mitigate climate change by restoring forests worldwide; they also hire locally and create job opportunities within vulnerable communities. Donations from our trips support restoration across planting sites in 10 countries around the globe.\n\n[Find out more or make a donation](https:\/\/www.theintrepidfoundation.org\/t\/eden-reforestation-projects%20)\n\nFull list of Antarctica FAQs\n\nIf your question hasn't been answered, read our full list of [Antarctica FAQs or contact us.](https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/us\/antarctica\/faqs)\n\nNeed help?\n\nCan’t find what you’re looking for or want to know more?

Boilerpipe Text	Where ocean meets ice and the wild runs free – this is Antarctica People used to think traveling this far south meant sailing off the end of the world. Nowadays, it might not be considered off the planet, but anyone would tell you that stepping foot on Antarctica is about as out of this world as it gets. With days spent paddling past icebergs, passing by penguin highways, hiking over ice floes and searching for migrating whales, you’ll gain a whole new perspective on our incredibly diverse environment – and learn more about protecting it, too. Antarctica trips Showing 12 of 25 With so many trips we have something for anyone Our Antarctica trips Showing 12 of 25 Get to know Antarctica New friends in cold places It’s not just the wildlife that makes an Antarctica voyage the trip of a lifetime; for some, the human connection is a hidden gem between the snow and the waves.

Tea and coffee, as well as soft drinks and juices, are ready to greet you when you return from a shore landing and at meal times, while alcoholic beverages are also available, but for an additional price. Breakfasts and lunches tend to be buffet-style, while dinners are typically served tableside and usually feature three courses. The range of food is diverse, with professional chefs preparing a wide selection of gourmet dishes, and a vegetarian option is always included. Afternoon tea, with pastries or cookies, is also provided every day. If you have any dietary requirements or food allergies, please let us know before the trip starts. If you have a more restrictive dietary requirement (vegan, gluten intolerance, fructose intolerance, etc) it is likely you can be catered for. Unfortunately, we are unable to cater for a kosher diet. Geography and environment #### Geography and environment Encompassed by the Antarctic convergence (an uneven line of latitude where the cold waters of the Antarctic merge with the warmer waters of the world's oceans), Antarctica is both cold and remote, located in the Southern Hemisphere. Due to its south-polar position, the Antarctic continent is covered in ice and experiences very harsh conditions unsuitable for permanent human residency. While plenty of animals live in Antarctica (such as various species of whale, penguin, seal and bird), there are very few humans that call Antarctica home, instead using the region as a base for research. There are no cities in Antarctica but there are several research stations positioned on the continent belonging to various countries like Russia, the United States and Australia. History and government #### History and government Antarctica was formed around 35 million years ago and remained undiscovered until around 1820, when Russian explorers spotted the mainland. However, this may have only been the first documented discovery of Antarctica, as it's believed that Pacific Islanders may have reached the white continent in 650 AD. There were many attempts to set foot at the South Pole in the early 20th century, so much so that it was dubbed the 'Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration', with many trying and failing until a Norwegian explorer by the name of Roald Amundsen reached in 1911. Exploration didn't stop there, though, with a total of 17 major expeditions launched in the following years from 10 different countries, the last one being Ernest Shackleton's last ill-fated voyage in 1917. Antarctica isn't owned by one single country, instead governed internationally through the Antarctic Treaty system signed in 1959 by 12 countries who had sent scientists to Antarctica during and around that time. These countries included Argentina, Australia, France, Japan, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom. ## Antarctica travel FAQs When is the best time to visit Antarctica? Antarctica is best visited November to March when the weather is warmer and the sea ice has melted enough to get closer to the island shore. [Learn more about the best time to visit Antarctica](https://www.intrepidtravel.com/us/antarctica/best-time-visit-antarctica) How do I choose an Antarctic cruise? Deciding on the Antarctica cruise that suits you best comes down to figuring out the time of year you want to go, the itinerary, and how long you want the cruise to be. [Learn more about how to choose an Antarctic cruise](https://www.intrepidtravel.com/us/antarctica/how-to-choose-an-antarctic-cruise) What is the weather like in Antarctica? The climate in Antarctica is the coldest on Earth, with cold summers and freezing winters. The warmest month is January with averages of around 50°F. [Learn more about the weather in Antarctica](https://www.intrepidtravel.com/us/antarctica/weather-antarctica) What are the possible landing sites in Antarctica? Each expedition includes stops at various landing sites around the Antarctic, but when you stop at them and for how long often depends on the weather, sea ice and wildlife movement. [Learn more about landing sites in Antarctica](https://www.intrepidtravel.com/us/antarctica-landing-sites) What is it like traveling solo on a cruise to Antarctica? While you can't embark on an expedition to the world's seventh continent alone, you can travel solo on a group trip to Antarctica. This means you'll still have plenty of free time to do your own thing (and use the ship's excellent amenities) but also have the comfort of knowing expert leaders are handling the pesky logistics. You can also choose from a variety of accommodation arrangements, from single cabins to room-sharing, depending on your preference. What do I wear in Antarctica? You have to be prepared and thorough when packing for Antarctica due to its remote location. Make sure you bring lots of layers, gloves, sunscreen, and moisturiser among other items. [Learn more about what to wear in Antarctica](https://www.intrepidtravel.com/us/antarctica/what-to-wear-in-antarctica) Is there internet, wi-fi, email or telephone access available on the ships? Internet access is available on most Antarctica ships at a cost. Alternatively, there may be a ship-based email system where you will have an email account to stay in touch with family and friends. Because of the remoteness of Antarctica, connections can be slow, so all ships charge for data used rather than time spent online. Please refer to your detailed pre-departure information for more information on Internet facilities on your ship. Can my family and friends contact me while I’m on board an Antarctica cruise in the case of an emergency at home? Yes. There is a number to call the ship and you can purchase data for the wi-fi onboard, although the connection is intermittent and not to be relied on. Does my trip to Antarctica support The Intrepid Foundation? Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. Trips to this country directly support our global Intrepid Foundation partner, Eden Reforestation Projects. Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation. Eden Reforestation Projects Eden Reforestation Projects are helping to mitigate climate change by restoring forests worldwide; they also hire locally and create job opportunities within vulnerable communities.

Readable Markdown	#### Where ocean meets ice and the wild runs free – this is Antarctica People used to think traveling this far south meant sailing off the end of the world. Nowadays, it might not be considered off the planet, but anyone would tell you that stepping foot on Antarctica is about as out of this world as it gets. With days spent paddling past icebergs, passing by penguin highways, hiking over ice floes and searching for migrating whales, you’ll gain a whole new perspective on our incredibly diverse environment – and learn more about protecting it, too. ## Antarctica trips *** Showing 12 of 25 With so many trips we have something for anyone Our Antarctica trips Showing 12 of 25 ## Get to know Antarctica ### New friends in cold places It’s not just the wildlife that makes an Antarctica voyage the trip of a lifetime; for some, the human connection is a hidden gem between the snow and the waves.
